I am also going to add the American Conf. schools here too, plus a few others:
BYU: Steve Young
Cincinnati: Trent Cole
Connecticut: Will Beatty
Memphis: Isaac Bruce
Temple: Joe Klecko
South Florida: Anthony Henry
Houston: Simon Fletcher
SMU: Eric Dickerson
Central Florida: Dante Culpepper
East Carolina: Ernest Byner
Tulane: Richie Pettibone
Tulsa: Steve Largent
Army: Bob Mischak
Navy: Roger Staubach
Let me know if you have any arguments about these being the "best" NFL player produced by each school. I know that I see a few right off the bat.

The schools that have the lowest rated "best player" are:
Connecticut: Will Beatty has a 30 score
Army: Bob Mischak has a 32 score
South Florida: Anthony Henry has 39 score
Houston: Simon Fletcher has a 62 score
Cincinnati: Trent Cole has a 67 score
From the actual power 5, Vanderbilt with Jay Cutler has the lowest best player score with 76....but he will add to that. Chris Hinton of Northwestern has the lower score for a P5 retired player.
-
Alan Page over Joe Montana from Notre Dame? I don't think so.
And Tomlinson over Sligin' Sammy Baugh from TCU? Nah.
And A&M's Richmond Webb should be in the HOF for 7 consecutive Pro Bowls, but so should an even better player, 5 time Pro bowler and 2 time Superbowl winning Lester Hayes, one of the best shut down corners ever when he won with the Raiders. No one in their right mind threw his way just like they try to avoid Richard Sherman now.
-
Or good ole Shane Lechler.
Dont know how Texas' isn't Earl Campbell.
Cal comes down to a debate about whether Lynch has had a better career than Rodgers. Any case there?

PFR measures productivy, not necessarily "best". The "Weighted PFR" is more about a sustained career peak.
I dont think Oklahoma thinks of Troy Aikman as one of their own since he left and starred at UCLA.
